Why no Ford flat 4 and 6 sections?

Speed equipment is kind of hard to find and pricey when you do but its fun to see peoples faces when they look under the hood expecting a V8 or a small block Chevy or Ford.

I have a 1950 issue of Mechanix Illustrated where Tom McCahill is comparing a 1950 Ford 6 to a V8. The six will outrun the V8 up to the last 200 feet of a quarter mile.
